Slash-related workshops
This is a short list of workshop-type environments I've found, mostly by doing keyword searches at
Yahoo! Groups. If you have one that belongs here, let me
know, because this list is by no means comprehensive. Not all of these lists are strictly
workshops, but they all encourage constructive criticism.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Writers Guild
This site acts as a resource for slash and het writers. It includes a list of beta readers, character and
genre "zones" and a host of other resources. Great idea.

BtVS_Angel_Fanfic_Beta
Description:
This group is for two kinds of people writers of BtVS or Angel fanfiction who want constructive
criticism on their fics in order to improve; and people who LOVE reading that fanfiction and are
willing to HELP these writers improve. To join, you must, at the very least, fit into the second
category. The main function of this list is to provide a place where Buffy or Angel writers can get
their fics beta read. So, do not join this group if you are not willing to critique people's works.
If you're
a lurker, this is not the group for you. If you join this list, you MUST at the very least provide
constructive criticism on some of the fics posted here.

Lovofmeandthee
Description:
If you love Starsky and Hutch together, as partners, friends and/or lovers, this place is for you. If
you DO NOT like reading, writing, or discussing slash (m/m) stories or issues pertaining to such,
please DO NOT join. Hopefully, this will be a fun and educational list for all. One other thing -
if you are not interested in improving as a writer, please don't join. Honest critiques of ALL
stories are allowed and encouraged. No flames, no personal trashing allowed.

Dreams_N_Print
Description:
Tired of 'boyband' fiction groups that are a clearing house for bad writing? If so welcome. Here,
our focus will be improving our writing with real feedback and challenging topics. Writing samples
MUST be submitted to join. Participation is somewhat expected. While we realize people have lives
outside of the fiction world, we are all writers and enjoy reading others' work as much as reading
comments on our own. We expect equal participation in the way of writing submissions and feedback.
Slash, het, gen... we want to see it all. The only limit is that the fiction must be about one (or
more) of the current groups. However, if you have another topic of fiction you'd like for us to read
over and critique, please ask us -- we will more than likely say yes. ALL fiction must be labeled as
far as genre and group focus. Warnings and/or templates are greatly appreciated. If you are looking
to improve your writing, looking for some of the best fiction on the web, or just looking for some
real feedback on your work, this is the place for you. No archived fics, please. We're a workshop --
we want first dibs.

Slash Writers Workshop
Description:
This list is dedicated to helping slash-writers become better writers. It provides a place for slash-writers, of any fandom, to present and discuss ideas, plot-lines, fragments, vignettes etc. Stories in alpha or beta condition are acceptable for posting, and will be considered open for comment and debate. This allows the writer to get some honest feedback on a story before posting it to the public lists and newsgroups.

Fanfiction Critics Association
This is not so much a place to workshop your writing as it is to critically examine different aspects
of fan fiction. But I'm including it anyway.
Long Title
Description:
A Monkees fanfiction writers workshop, designed to provide constructive criticism and helpful
feedback on any fanfiction stories submitted to the list. Story ratings range from G to R. No smut or
slash allowed. Because of the constructive criticism workshop atmosphere of the list, YOU MUST BE
18 OR OLDER TO JOIN. Come join the Monkee romps in the Long Title Library!)
Note:
This list does not allow slash, but I thought I'd include it anyway because it kept popping up on
my travels.
